It may have been long and problematic to residents and business owners, but in the long run it will be worth it. I'm glad that the money was spent on Westfield rather than our bordering neighbors. Maybe now downtown can come back to life. We all know downtown needed a face lift for this to happen. As a life long resident of westfield, I'm glad it was done.
Change is never easy, but now that it's almost over we all can breath a sigh of relief!!

This is such BS!! Where does it end?? My son just graduated from umass and we're both saddled with debt. It's all about colleges becoming big business. Its all about paying the high salaries and new sports facilities. Is it any wonder the rest of the world is passing us by academically. Im absolutely frustrated at the system................

Surely is tragic. I'm surprised there isn't more accidents in NoHo. This is what you get when walkers or bikers think they own the streets because it's a law. Whatever happened to looking both ways before crossing into the sidewalk?
What a shame :(

Why do these checkpoints keep happening in the same spot? The only place in the city that seems to be thriving is being singled out. All they're going to do is kill the nightlife in that area. Noboby wants to go into interior Springfield because you may get shot or mugged. U could go to one of these establishments and have a couple beers and get nailed. Guess folks can just go to another town to have dinner and a glass of wine or 2. I'm not advocating getting wasted behind the wheel. Thats wrong. Just stop targetting the same area or go patrol interior Springfield so people may feel safe.

Once again pass an unfair tax on the backs of tobacco users. This time its for Legal immigrants health care. Are u frigging kidding me? Who help defray my health care? No one. this is such a bunch of BS I can't stand it. Once again they'll get away taxing a certain group of people. That's fair now isn't it??

What a shame. So sorry to the family. These people get hooked up with the wrong people. When's the last time an innocent person got gunned down? All these victims all had a past which was less than perfect. Did they deserve to die? Of course not, but when you choose that lifestyle this stuff will continue to happen.

Are you kidding me Tloan. What a ignorant comment to make asking how did she serve our country because she didn't see combat. I'm a veteran who didn't see combat. My job was to be prepared in case there was a conflict.
You'll be making plenty of friends with that stupid comment!! Say what you want about the fight, but she gave 9 years of her life for all of us and she should be thanked for her service.

I'm all for the new housing. Has anyone been to downtown Amherst lately? What a very nice community. There's no problems with the UMASS students and the hundreds of adults there enjoying dinner or what ever. Sure there some wild college kids but let's not stereotype. If u went to college, ask yourself what you were doing at that age. Having people on the streets in Westfield can only be a good thing for all. I do feel bad about the tenants getting the boot and wish them all luck finding new housing.
